*sigh*
I've seen this topic at so many forums. And always with the same title. Makes me think it's the same user or something.

Japan isn't perfect, but it's not horrible either. "Japan doesn't like you" isn't an appropriate thing to say because those Uyoku(right-wingers) aren't representative of Japan. Infact most Japanese people describe their behaviour as very un-Japanese.

If anything the words "Do you like Japan? Japan doesn't like you!" seems like anti-Japanese propaganda.

I agree! It's a very weighted and unfair title!

I have a friend who went many times to Japan...(he had to go there because o his job!)

He told me that he was several times not allowed to enter a pub!

That makes me really sad, because I want to go there too and if it happend to me I would be very angry I think...

But all Japanese I know are really NOT like THAT!

Some of the comments on that video were highly tactless and immature. They made me lol heartily.

Japan is a very homogeneous country, isn't it? I guess the government wants to keep it that way. Remember this is the same country that had isolationist policies for many years.

But on the other hand, maybe the establishments that posted those signs just didn't want to deal with bothersome tourists who were unable to speak Japanese; that would be assuming that all foreigners can't speak Japanese, though. Most of the signs also had 'members only' signs... that's not excluding certain races, that's just excluding nonmembers.

The video info mentioned discrimination against Chinese & Koreans especially. That isn't surprising to me, considering the countries have tensions with one another.

Anyway, yes, the discrimination seems like a sad downside to Japan... but as far as Japan's social problems go, I think there are more serious concerns, such as ijime or declining population.
